Frequently Asked Questions
When is tick season in New Jersey?
Ticks are active year-round in NJ but peak in spring (May-June) and fall (October-November). Adult deer ticks can be active whenever temperatures are above freezing. We recommend year-round vigilance and seasonal treatment programs.
What diseases do NJ ticks carry?
Black-legged (deer) ticks in NJ carry Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and Powassan virus. American dog ticks carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Early tick removal and professional yard treatment reduce disease risk significantly.
How effective is tick spray for yards?
Professional tick treatment programs have been shown to reduce tick populations by 68-100% in treated areas. Regular applications throughout tick season maintain protection for your family and pets.
What can I do to reduce ticks on my property?
Keep grass mowed short, remove leaf litter, create a wood chip or gravel barrier between your lawn and wooded areas, and discourage deer from entering your yard. Professional treatment combined with habitat modification provides the best results.
Is tick treatment safe for pets?
Our tick treatments are applied and allowed to dry before pets re-enter treated areas. Once dry, professional residual products are safe for dogs and cats. Your technician will give specific re-entry instructions for your pets.
